One way could be to put the following in config.h before compiling:

   #define PROCMAILRC      "/no/such/file"

And then the following in /etc/procmailrc:

   DROPPRIVS = yes
   INCLUDERC = $HOME/bla-bla-procmailrc   # or some other directory


...except that procmail won't check the permissions on
$HOME/bla-bla-procmailrc as strictly as it does the one specified with
the PROCMAILRC #define.  If you need to move everyone's .procmailrc,
hacking the source is the safest way.
